LOL My father's side of the family was McKinney, McKenny, Mahoney and Lent. Saint Patrick's Day was a big deal to my dad. He always dyed scrambled eggs green for breakfast. Looked disgusting: I switched to oatmeal. Which he then put drops of green coloring in to before the pot made it to the table. The 3 of us girls had to always wear green or we would be bruised from the pinching before we got to school. There was never a choice of what would be for dinner. Boiled corned beef. Some year not long after moving to Diamond Bar on Saint Patrick's Day 1979, I learned to bake the dinner. The meat is glazed with equal parts mustard and apricot jam the last half hour. A little change in cooking method makes for a much tastier meal. I introduced my son's mother-in-law to Roger's Gardens today. We dropped some greenbacks in exchange for a cartful of plants.

I forgot to wear green! I, too, am 1/4 Irish thanks to my maternal grandmother, Mary Theresa Catherine Fitzgerald O'Dwyer, aka Katie. I did manage to eat some colcannon and 'mashed peas and soda bread. Does that count? Good Grief! I forgot to wear green!
